Andy's Alpha #39: ETHDenver Plans & Dencun Upgrade

Early opportunities I've heard of, builders delivering alpha, timely releases coming soon, and state of the market!

Andy’s Alpha is free. If you wanna support my work feel free to hop on the 7-day free trial & access all the previous inner circle agendas, then decide if you want to continue:

ETHDenver is days away. If you’ve been subscribing since last year, you know at conferences I’ll do a ton of interviews and written content for you guys (with a ton of alpha going in both the free & inner circle agendas).

There are many side events that we’ll be covering and were really excited, not much else to say but I’ll be there for a whole week trying to get as much alpha for you guys as possible.

LFG.

The other exciting news is Dencun upgrade, aka EIP4844. This is probably going to turn into a bullish trade for ETH L2 tokens like ARB, OP, STRK, and also will be mega bullish on Blast.

I sent these messages in my TG and the amount of projects shared and convos was astounding. Blast is going to catch everyone off guard. Mainnet very, very soon.

In the meantime….

You should be hunting for airdrops. This is probably the best return on your capital and time. I’ll post a couple opportunities (with a ref link) and it’ll be up to you if you want to take advantage:

1. Farming Ekubo points on Starknet by LP'ing in different positions, using Braavos wallet. I bridged with Orbiter, farming that too by using for volume. Super passive farm here just gotta deposit, its the #2 dApp by TVL on Starknet. Come farm with me.

2. Restake on Eigenpie and earn Eigenlayer points, Eigenpie points, and Swell voyage points. Come farm join me, frens.

3. Farming Parcl.co right now on Solana, a totally underfarmed airdrop, and enjoying the platform. Use ref 'ayyyeandy' for 5% extra boost on rewards.

4. Restake on Claystack and earn Eigenlayer points and CLAY rewards. Click to join me.

5. Farming Nostra (lending, borrowing, swapping with AVNU aggregator, and depositing in pools) on Starknet as I think $NOS is imminent, and its the #1 TVL dApp on the network, come farm with me frens.

6. Use Lava Network RPCs and connect them to your metamask/rabby wallet. You’ll be eligible for $MAGMA points. Super simple transition, just copy/paste the new RPC url then input it to your wallet by adding a custom network on your wallet. Lets earn some points together, come farm with me.

7. Deposit ETH onto Mode Network L2 and claim your potential airdrop and use ETH to farm more tokens. Deposit with me.

P.S. If you haven’t already, join my free TG channel to stay up to date with daily posts and alpha.

Before we jump into todays post, I wanted to let you know you can start a 7-day free trial and upgrade to a premium sub ($7.99/mo) to see the full backlog of posts and receive the upcoming premium newsletter:

SpiralDAO is dominating the $veMAV game. They are offering really good yields. If you have seen the Maverick token chart, you’ll be pretty pleased too especially for upcoming MAV airdrop (as seen above) for all stakers in SpiralDAO.

Guuud UI/UX, guuud tech, smart team, easy to work with.

Get started with the high liquid locker yields here. The Maverick wars are starting soon.
